Artie Lange on Conan O'Brien 11-12-08

Is it me or is Artie back on the H? What is up with the sunglasses and hat? Is that not a classic users "afraid of bright lights outfit"? Is this his new shtick or is this a relapse? He sure seemed to be on something to me.

I thought for a second that he was going to actually give Conan crap for not making him the first guest like they discussed on the show last week but he seemed to either back off or run out of time.
